"The New York Climate Exchange and the Public Housing Community Fund are now accepting applications to fund resident-led projects that advance climate solutions in the city's public housing-part of an annual initiative, now in its fourth year, to support things like public gardens and composting. Residents have until Feb. 12 to submit their ideas for the first step for this year's NYCHA Resident Climate Action Grants."
"Approved applicants will then be invited to apply for one of three tiers of funding, ranging from $1,500 or less for one-time or first-time initiatives, to as much as $15,000 for existing projects or organizations that have already made an impact. The funding has previously been used for things like recycling education and outreach, environmentally-focused art workshops and to expand community gardens."
